Nothing wakes you up
Like waking up alone
And all that's left of us
Is a cupboard full of clothes
The day you walked away
And took the higher ground
Was the day that I became
The man that I am now
But these high walls, they came up short
Now I stand taller than them all
These high walls never broke my soul, and I
I watched them all come falling down
I watched them all come falling down for you
For you
Nothing makes you hurt
Like hurtin' who you love
And no amount of words
Will ever be enough
I looked you in the eyes, saw that I was lost
For every question "why"
You were my "because"
But these high walls, they came up short
Now I stand taller than them all
These high walls never broke my soul, and I
I watched them all come falling down
I watched them all come falling down for you
Falling down for you
So this one is a thank you
For what you did to me
Why is it that 'thank you's'
Are so often bittersweet
I just hope I see you one day
And you'll say to me
Oh, oh
But these high walls, they came up short
Now I stand taller than them all
These high walls never broke my soul, and I
I watched them all come falling down
I watched them all come falling down for you
Falling down for you
Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone
